Drama History Romance War. Did you know Edit. Trivia The fact that Hattie McDaniel would be unable to attend the premiere in racially segregated Atlanta outraged Clark Gable so much that he threatened to boycott the premiere unless she could attend. He later relented when she convinced him to go.
Goofs At the beginning of the film, there is a massive oak tree outside Tara's front door. After the rampaging yankees have devastated the plantation and burned everything in their path, the tree is gone.
At the conclusion of the war, the tree has miraculously returned to its former splendor. Quotes Scarlett : Rhett, Rhett She reasoned that if "Gone With the Wind" were to be removed, then the same logic would also lead to the removal of episodes of "Friends" and "Game of Thrones," anything by John Hughes and Woody Allen, etc. Obviously Game of Thrones has to go right now. Anything by John Hughes Woody Allen All that was kind of grandfathered in.

Yes, with the capital letters and all. One does not have to ask if the Slaves saw it the same way. The movie sidesteps the inconvenient fact that plantation gentility was purchased with the sweat of slaves there is more sympathy for Scarlett getting calluses on her pretty little hands than for all the crimes of slavery.
But to its major African-American characters it does at least grant humanity and complexity. That the Ku Klux Klan was written out of one scene for fear of giving offense to elected officials who belonged to it.
The movie comes from a world with values and assumptions fundamentally different from our own--and yet, of course, so does all great classic fiction, starting with Homer and Shakespeare. Several directors worked on the film; George Cukor incurred Clark Gable's dislike and was replaced by Victor Fleming , who collapsed from nervous exhaustion and was relieved by Sam Wood and Cameron Menzies. The real auteur was the producer, David O.
Selznick , the Steven Spielberg of his day, who understood that the key to mass appeal was the linking of melodrama with state-of-the-art production values. And there is a joyous flamboyance in the visual style that is appealing in these days when so many directors have trained on the blandness of television.
Consider an early shot where Scarlett and her father look out over the land, and the camera pulls back, the two figures and a tree held in black silhouette with the landscape behind them. Or the way the flames of Atlanta are framed to backdrop Scarlett's flight in the carriage. It will be around for years to come, a superb example of Hollywood's art and a time capsule of weathering sentimentality for a Civilization gone with the wind, all right--gone, but not forgotten.
